COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It is common for Tennessee Tech
student-athletes to give back to the community in a variety of
ways, such as aiding Habitat for Humanity or collecting food for
local groups. Helping those in the Cookeville area is one way that
Golden Eagles show their appreciation for the community’s
continued support.

Recently, three Tennessee Tech football players – Slade
Adams, Hunter Beedle and Andrew Higgins – along with
assistant coach Thomas Cox went to Cookeville's Cane Creek
Elementary School to read and interact with the students.

Adams, Beedle and Higgins took turns reading to the group of
more than 50 students then spent time taking photos with the
students and assisting them with their school projects.
